Wireless, non RGB, but still good DPI/CPI with as low latency and lag as possible... one of, if not the ONLY one i know of, is from Logitech. personally been rocking the Logitech G604 and despite the GHUB malarkey it is actually been my go-to mouse (after going through GHUB to make every macro i ever want or need on it's on-board memory then deleting the dang software of course) though i'm quite sure there's even more wireless non-rgb mice out there. the G604 is just my mouse, which i recommend, and it usually on sale from it's MSRP's 99 bucks nowadays and i bought it when it was 66 bucks.

I need a USB hub on my desk to get some of my new wireless dongles from the back of the tower to an open area more available to transmit signal. nothing huge, a simple 4-6 would do me plenty. but i need to be able to have high speed transfer without the need for a power cable hogging my UPS' already very limited slots. i do have a USB-A red port which i believe is the power one, i have some USB-A 3.1 ports, and a single USB-C i can use for power/data transfer. any suggestions that won't break the bank? my budget's gonna be 50 or less.

If you are still looking, then i got a suggestion. 110 USD, HyperX's new Alloy Origins line. Lighting, full RGB to mention, that's vibrant bright and evenly spread. No frills, just a standard full sized layout (has FN functionality for brightness/profile switching/media control keys) and a detachable USB-C cable. It's really dark grey or black in color, and it comes in your standard 3 switch styles; Red Linear/Blue Clicky/Tactile Aqua. the Aqua is your Brown switch, it's HyperX's new in-house mechanical cherry clones but with higher durability/clicks than your standard cherry/clones. the lighting can be changed to your liking to as simple as white no frills to any kind of wild effects and colors via the Ngenuity software that's unfortunately only available on the microsoft store (for this model, theres a legacy version for previous models of their peripherals) and has 3 on board memory switch keys with f1-f3 through the FN key. It is also made of mostly all aircraft grade aluminum, heavy as hell and no flex without serious torque i got the blue clicky version and i've got nothing but amazing things to say so far regarding my experience! https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Alloy-Origins-Software-Controlled-Customization/dp/B0848KP25D/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hyperx%2Balloy%2Borigins]&qid=1604377886&sr=8-1&th=1 EDIT: I should mention that i've heard people GUSHING over the Aqua as their new favorite switch, it's apparently super satisfying to many. hell, HardwareCanuks says the Red is their new favorite red switch.

True, that could be the best thing to try... Also, i agree about GHub, the software, whilst deep, is not exactly friendly. so my g600 and g604 have their on boards set up how i really like them and GHub is not on my computer at all anymore, if i ever need it again i will grab it but get rid of it the moment it's not useful. OH, and i found out the g600's on board with GHub is jack shit, if you want the macros and G-shift to work properly without software on the onboard memory you need to set it up with the old LGS software. which sucks. But the return policy idea could be a good way to go, though returning hardware for a software issue seems like a bad way to do it in my opinion. after everything i've seen and heard, i'll hit up the HyperX, make sure the software thing isn't some user error, and if it's fine then yay. if not, then will return it and grab the Havit or something. Thanks for the return policy suggestion

It's not that i'm shying away from the huntsman, i see that even those who knew razer's past products weren't up to snuff saying this is the best keyboard they ever made. the problem is the cable is not detachable which is one of the things on my wishlist. in fact, if all i had to choose from were the huntsman from razer and the logitech board i mentioned in my OP, i'd take the hunstman hands down. and thats coming from someone who loves logitech products. but considering the desire for a detachable cable, that's the only reason i'm putting the huntsman in the "if nothing else" pile. and i thank you for providing reviews for the HyperX, though i already watched them all at this point. as i mentioned o another above you, my only issue right now is software being a major divider on those who have this board

i'm just about to pull the trigger, honestly. the build, the type-c cable, the clicky keys. and apparently people love the hyperX in hosue switches, everyones gushing over aqua, and anyone who prefers linier are saying the reds are actually very satisfying. the only thing holding me back is the macro/software stuff. i keep hearing how the software is the one point people are at odds with eachother on. some say it's broken beyond repair, others say it's the most user friendly one these days. so it's really that macro setting and software suite that's really keeping me from saying it's the right choice. but thank you for your suggestion on which to get

i mean, i don't know why it is sad, people have their preference about the need for certain keys which is why we have every type of size, like TKL and 60% compact, and etc. i prefer the full layout for all my needs. as for Corsair and Razer, I've seen none at my price point except the Razer Huntsman with their purple optical switch, but i hear synapse isn't the best software out there, and I've always been skeptical of razer products, though the optical purple switch keyboard is 90 bucks which is 20 cheaper than the hyperX so it's not too bad just... still skeptical of Razer you know?

it looks like the logo is from EagleTec, which is rebranded now to E-Element, it's a cheap chinese keyboard. Though the brand is sometimes noted as being a decent budget option for mechanical keyboard, seeing as most round around 40-60 bucks and usually come with decent construction.

seeing so many other posts about keyboards and upgrades, i'm starting to think that the GMMK is being advertised instead of given an actual thought to what others want for the most part. I'm bumping my post with something a little more informative. The GMMK's kit starts at 109, after customizing the board with the switch i want, without o-rings, it's then 130. thankfully shipping is free unless i want it express shipped, but still. that's 130. my budget MAX is 110, so that any keyboard that's 110 on amazon i can discount with credit to be 100, which is my actual budget. I also again still need macro customization with on board memory so i can easily switch computers and still have the shortcuts and programming/gaming strings of button presses, of which the GMMK does not have. i also, again, need a full sized keyboard with either wireless or detachable wire options. GMMK's full size model is neither wireless, nor does it's wire detach. I may have put that logitech without detachable wire up on the list, but it's just for curiosity as a budget option. My question still remains, i am asking, please, does anyone have more information about the HyperX keyboard with their in house blue clicky switch? How well built is it and does it's macro's save on the board to be used without software when changing computers?

you do realize i'm looking for a keyboard for more than JUST it's switches right? if all i cared about was getting the best switches and keycaps ONLY those and i didn't care about form factor, i'd get GMMK in a heartbeat due to it's massively modular one trick pony of a selling point. i need my keyboard to have macro capabilities, and full size, and would definitely enjoy having it with either a detachable wire, or wireless in general. i get what you're saying about GMMK and Switches. and i get there's other types of switches other than cherry, it's clones and etc. but i am literally saying i need my keyboard to have the following: Macro capabilities with onboard memory so it keeps those macros across all devices without needing to recoanload software, clicky tactile switches that are at the very least decent enough to my current cherry MX blues, FULL SIZE, Detachable cable/wireless. GMMK has one thing, and one thing only on it's full size layout that even checks a single box, and that is i can generally guarentee the switch i want. thats all it does for me, modular switches for what i want to feel typing on and using. no macros, no detachable cable on full size. I'm sorry for the rant, but i get you are in love with the GMMK and all so good for you. but it is just not able to give me the features i want and need in a keyboard. after searching for a week, i found 2 keyboards that gave me what i wanted: Havit's low profile kaihl blue KB395L and the new HyperX Alloy Origins with their in house Clicky Blue switch. the logitech i'm just very curious about because i do enjoy logitech devices. i also don't wanna break my bank, so going way over 100 bucks is not gonna happen

i KNOW what switches i want, i want clicky tactile switches, also known as cherry BLUE equivalent switches, the switches i am currently typing on with my G710 Blue. the switches are not the issue. and i get that the GMMK is modular, however it's Full Size model does NOT have a detachable cable. and i do not feel like spending too much more over the 100 dollars line (with prime day i have a credit that will make the hyperX board only a little over 100 with tax) and im pretty sure that the GMMK board does NOT have on board macro capabilities so that makes it MUCH less desirable to me.

I've been looking tirelessly for my next keyboard, a replacement/upgrade to my currently owned, 5 years running solid G710 blue edition. I asked for help a week ago but no one was able to help with suggestions given my... admittedly weird set of desires for the keyboard to get. But since then, i found 1 keyboard that's, for the most part, fit nicely into what i want from my new keyboard (with maybe 1-2 compromises) Just a few days ago, though, one keyboard released for purchase that basically gave me no compromises, but i'm unsure about it's on-board memory macro customization. And now i see a new keyboard that looks also good but for less money. TL;DR: Can anyone tell me more about these two keyboards, and if they are worth it, and have true on board memory for their macros? so i do not need software after setting that onboard memory? HyperX Alloy Origins, HyperX Blue Clicky keys: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H6TWRF3/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 New Logitech K845: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Mechanical-Illuminated-Keyboard-Adjustable/dp/B088KRJ28T/ref=pd_rhf_sc_p_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=XGRDD72M75RVVD1TTZVZ&th=1 I'm aiming to have a keyboard with on board memory macro's that stay on the thing even when switching computers. My current keyboard to buy is the Havit Low Profile Keyboard- KB395L, though the HyperX has a type-c cable instead of micro-b along with a better aluminum construction. But i wanna be sure i get the right keyboard for me that is good quality and will last me another 5+ years

As a user of BOTH the G600 and G604, i can say they hold up in most situations. both are good mice, though the 600 feels way more like a heavyweigfht champ and the 604 has a MUCH better sensor. I use the 600 for any game with LOADS of favorite profiles or buttons that are for actions that are bound permanently away from WASD, and i use the 604 for everything else. with 5 on board memory profiles, you can have the 604 with it's 15 programmable buttons (6 thumb buttons, 2 additional buttons next to the index finger's left click, the left and right clickers can be reprogrammed too, and the scroll wheel's 5 different usages; up and down, both side scroll clicks, and even the full click down) but the 600 has a full 20 with a third finger click to the right of the main right click, so if you need WAY more buttons the g600 is a VERY nice addition. Hell, the 600 i refuse to live without mostly cause i love that third clicker but thats just me. All in all, both Logitech options will do you good with build quality and a very deep reprogrammable sets of buttons. GHub has a lot of deep features to it, however it is not that user friendly, and can be frustrating on even great days. I basically loaded on board profiles (600 has 3, 604 has 5) with on board memory profile switching, and removed GHub when i was sure my mice were set and ready to go with EVERY macro intact. And they are intact, and no software BS with the onboard memory fully set up. however, if you ever want to redo your macros, you WILL need to get the software again. so be mindful. There ARE alturnatives that have gotten good reviews however, so here's two i found that could do you proud. however the software might be iffy because i cannot vouch for it, though the functionality seem solid: Corsair's option: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Scimitar-Pro-RGB-Programmable/dp/B01MU3DZYN/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=MMO+gaming+mouse&qid=1601945512&sr=8-4 Redragon's option: https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-Wireless-Programmable-Buttons-Battery/dp/B088B3ZM76/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=MMO+gaming+mouse&qid=1601945512&sr=8-10 The redragon has a fully wired option somewhere, but this will work either wireless or wired with a type-C cable, so it's not too bad an option. and many will swear by Corsair even since the older days. So any option is considerable for your needs. It'll be tough with software bloat, but again the Logitech mice can easily have their software ditched the moment your sure you have all macros set and will never again touch the macro settings. i am unsure if onboard memory is a thing with redragon or corsair. thats my 20 bucks of thoughts, take it as you see fit and remember to just go with your gut and enjoy your experience no matter what you get

I should have maybe prefaced my usage as well, now that i think about it, but before that i should say that all but the razer are small minimalist and compact keyboards. not to my taste at all, i can't do everything i want and need to do off a super small setup. kinda why i need some sort of macro ability, which is why the razer's a decent option, though the permanent wire is a compromise i'm not fully willing to accept yet. The K4 isn't too compact like the other 2 bluetooth ones, but i'm worried about latency over it's bluetooth when gaming I'll be writing and gaming heavily, so i need something a little more substantial, and i prefer the feel and sound of the clicky tactile switch types.

I do not blame anyone for not giving any kind of advice, considering the amount of keyboards i've looked at trying to find one that ticks every box. i've found about 5 that MOSTLY fit the bill, but at this point i'm stuck between three. So, if possible, can i re-ask my question? Out of these three, what can everyone tell me is the better option?
